Greetings from Canada :) Some of you may know that the R34 GTR just became legal in our country. We have a law stating that vehicles not manufactured for the North American market must be 15 years old or older to be eligible for import. My last Skyline was a 1992 R32 GTST I bought back in 2007. Very happy to have one of the first (legally imported) R34 GTR's in the country :)

Needs a wash and the front diffuser needs a bit of work, but I love it immensely.

Have you got plans for your GT-R? Are you navigating through SAU quite easily? Searching through our For Sale threads?

I am navigating very well thanks :) I've actually been a member here since I had my R32 in 2007... I just never, ever post. I am a bit more active on the GTRCanada but not by much.

Most of the year in northern BC by the Alberta border. GTR is currently garaged in Vancouver since all the gravel on the roads from winter would not play nice with the windscreen and paint. It will come up here with me in June or so during our summer... before I likely move back in December-ish.

I am probably begin with some cosmetic mods, interior bits, wheels, and repairing the front diffuser. The bonnet dampers I ordered from Japan just arrived at my place in Vancouver today, along with the parts to swap out the factory navigation so I can fit a proper stereo that works in Canada. The car came with most of the significant stuff done to it. TRUST exhaust, Tein coilovers, HKS boost controller, etc... Not super keen on opening up the engine yet having only had it for just over a month now.

There are actually a number of photos of your car saved on my drive in my "inspiration" folder... though I didn't know it was yours at the time!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
